It's Christmas time! I have been some busy these past few weeks. The day after Thanksgiving, I put away all of my harvest/t-day decor and broke out the Christmas decorations. Jesse had to work for a few hours that Friday and while he was gone I started putting out all the little nick knacks and decorated our front door. Once Jesse came back home we went to go get our tree. We headed to Home Depot and found the perfect one. Our friend Steven came along to help us out. We got the tree home and the guys attached it to the base and once it was set in there we all kinda stared at it for a few minutes and then Steven broke the silence and says, "wow what a great tree!" Haha! So we stop our marveling at the blank, bare tree and I started plugging in the lights to make sure they all worked. Amazingly, all the lights lit up! Not one was out, not one fuse blew, they were perfect, all 5 strands of them (3 whites, 2 flashing blues)! Jesse helped me string them all on, we finished decorating the tree, I finished adding things here and there and before we knew it, our home was complete.
We finished all of our shopping for the families last night. Man, how wonderful it feels to actually be done. I have to get Jesse a few more things and I'm not sure if he is finished with me yet either. This year I think the plan is we are going to do Christmas here. Just gotta figure out how we will all fit!
Well here are the pics of our decorations:

We did our pictures for our Christmas card...I'll post a pic of them once I mail them out. I know some of my friends and family view this blog and I don't wanna give anything away just yet. ;) Here are one of the pictures we took...I think we need a bigger tree.
